DRI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we will refer to DRI Corporation as “DRI,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our.” DRI was incorporated in 1983. DRI’s Common Stock, $.10 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market^(™) under the symbol “TBUS.”

     Through its business units and wholly owned subsidiaries, DRI manufactures, sells, and services information technology and surveillance technology products either directly or through manufacturers’ representatives or distributors. Customers include municipalities, regional transportation districts, federal, state and local departments of transportation, and bus manufacturers. The Company markets primarily to customers located in North and South America, the Far East, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE

     The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and information (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

     The year end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Due to the Company’s anticipation of having insufficient cash resources to make payment in full on the outstanding balance of its domestic line of credit which matured June 30, 2008, the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 7, pursuant to terms of a three-year asset-based lending agreement dated June 30, 2008, the Company refinanced the domestic line of credit with a new lender.

Product Warranties

     The Company provides a limited warranty for its products, generally for a period of one to three years. The Company’s standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the customer. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product sales are recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include such things as the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The following table summarizes product warranty activity during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

	Six Months ended June 30,
	2008			2007
Balance at beginning of period	$	491		$	384
Additions charged to costs and expenses		68			252
Deductions		(116	)		(96	)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     On February 12, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis until 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 beginning January 1, 2008 and deferred application of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, primarily goodwill and intangible assets, until January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that adopting SFAS No. 157 with respect to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, may have on our financial statements.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company has elected not to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting but FAS 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. SFAS No. 141(R) requires companies to recognize, with certain exception, 100% of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest in acquisitions of less than 100% controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control; measure acquirer shares issued as consideration for a business combination at fair value on the date of the acquisition; recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair value, with subsequent change in fair value generally reflected in earnings; recognition of reacquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition date fair value; and expense, as incurred, acquisition related transaction costs. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not allowed. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) may have on our financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51”, which is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not allowed. SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish new standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of (1) noncontrolling interest in partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) loss of control of subsidiaries. SFAS No. 160 requires that entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interest of the noncontrolling owners separately within the consolidated statement of position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity and separately on the face of the consolidated income statement. Further, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for consistently and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary should be initially measured at fair value. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 160 may have on our financial statements.

     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”, which is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand such effects on financial position, financial performance and cash flow. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 161 may have on our financial statements.

     In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that FSP No. 142-3 may have on our financial statements.

     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 162 may have on our financial statements.

(2) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     On April 30, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Audio Corporation (“DAC”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Dolphin Direct Equity Partners, LP (“Dolphin”), a Delaware limited partnership, pursuant to which Dolphin acquired all of DAC’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.4 million. Dolphin paid $1.1 million of the Purchase Price on the Closing Date. The remainder of the Purchase Price is reflected in a promissory note issued to the Company in the original principal amount of $344,000 (“the Promissory Note”), payable in four equal annual installments of $86,000. Interest on the Promissory Note is payable semi-annually at the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal.

     On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into an Extension Agreement with DAC which delayed the first principal payment of $86,000 due under the Promissory Note on April 30, 2008, until July 30, 2008. We received the first principal payment in full in July 2008.

     The Promissory Note is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a note receivable. Additionally, pursuant to terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company retained the exclusive right to purchase DAC’s products for resale in the United States for the two year period following the Closing Date. No gain or loss was recorded by the Company on this transaction.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, this segment of the business is reported as discontinued operations and, accordingly, income and losses from discontinued operations have been reported separately from continuing operations. Amounts reported in prior periods have been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to remove them from their historical classifications to conform to this presentation. Net sales and loss before income tax expense from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,

     The change in goodwill from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 of $809,000 is due to foreign exchange rate fluctuation.

(7) LINES OF CREDIT, NOTES PAYABLE AND LOANS PAYABLE

     (a) Domestic line of credit and loan payable

     On June 30, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiaries Digital Recorders, Inc. and TwinVision of North America, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a three-year, asset-based lending agreement (the “PNC Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) to replace an existing lending agreement (the “Laurus Agreement”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) which matured on June 30, 2008. DRI has agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Borrowers under the PNC Agreement. The PNC Agreement provides up to $8.0 million in borrowings under a revolving credit facility and is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible U.S. assets of the Company. Borrowing availability under the PNC Agreement is based upon an advance rate equal to 85% of eligible accounts receivable of the Borrowers plus 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of inventory of the Borrowers, limited to $750,000. The PNC Agreement provides for one of two possible interest rates on borrowings: (1) an interest rate based on the rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) at which U.S. dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market (a “Eurodollar Rate Loan”) or (2) interest at a rate (the “Domestic Rate”) based on either (a) the base commercial lending rate of PNC, or (b) the open rate for federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System, as determined by PNC (a “Domestic Rate Loan”). The actual annual interest rate for borrowings under the PNC Agreement is (a) the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.25% for a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (b) the Domestic Rate plus 1.75% for Domestic Rate Loans. Interest is calculated on the principal amount of borrowings outstanding, subject to a minimum principal amount of $3.5 million. The PNC Agreement contains certain covenants and provisions that affect us and the Borrowers, including covenants and provisions, starting as of September 30, 2008, that (i) require that we and the Borrowers maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, for the twelve-month period then ending; (ii) require that we and the Borrowers maintain certain leverage ratios stated in the PNC Agreement, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, for the twelve-month period then ending; (iii) require that we maintain a minimum EBITDA of at least $5.0 million, as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the twelve-month period then ending; and (iv) require that we and the Borrowers maintain a borrowing availability of at least $500,000 at all times. If all outstanding obligations under the PNC

10

Agreement are paid before the end of the three-year term, the Borrowers will be obligated to pay an early termination fee up to $160,000, depending on the time the early termination occurs.

     On June 30, 2008, the Borrowers entered into a loan agreement (the “BHC Agreement”) with BHC Interim Funding III, L.P. (“BHC”), pursuant to which the Borrowers obtained a $5.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) that matures June 30, 2011. DRI agreed to guarantee the Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12.75% and is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Additionally, the Term Loan is secured by a pledge of all outstanding common stock of the Borrowers and Robinson Turney International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DRI, a pledge of 65% of the outstanding common stock of all foreign subsidiaries other than Mobitec Pty Ltd., and a pledge of 100% of the common stock issued by Mobitec Brazil Ltda. to DRI. The BHC Agreement contains certain covenants and provisions that affect us and the Borrowers, including covenants and provisions, starting September 30, 2008, that (1) prohibit us and our subsidiaries from incurring or maintaining indebtedness in excess of $19.0 million, which includes a prohibition on the subsidiaries of our foreign subsidiaries from incurring or maintaining indebtedness in excess of $6.0 million, subject to certain exceptions, (2) require that we and the Borrowers maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.0, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, for the twelve-month period then ending, (3) require that we and the Borrowers maintain a net worth of at least $14.0 million, (4) require that we and the Borrowers maintain certain leverage ratios stated in the BHC Agreement, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, for the twelve-month period then ending, (5) prohibit us or any subsidiary from making capital expenditures, as defined in the Loan Agreement, that exceed an aggregate of $250,000 per fiscal year, and (6) require that we maintain a minimum EDITDA of at least $5.0 million, as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the twelve-month period then ending. If the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan is paid prior to the maturity date, the Borrowers will be subject to a termination fee up to $735,000, depending on the date of repayment.

     Although the PNC Agreement and BHC Agreement were dated June 30, 2008, initial borrowings under these agreements did not occur until July 1, 2008. As a result, all principal and interest obligations due to Laurus under the Laurus Agreement were paid on July 1, 2008 and the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 reflects amounts due to Laurus as of that date and does not reflect any obligations for borrowings under the PNC Agreement or BHC Agreement which occurred on July 1, 2008. In addition to retiring all obligations due under the Laurus Agreement, borrowings under the revolving credit facility of the PNC Agreement and the Term Loan will be used to fund working capital needs of the Company.

     The Company estimates it will incur aggregate expenses of approximately $1.1 million directly attributable to executing the PNC Agreement and BHC Agreement. These direct expenses will be recorded as deferred financing costs on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the three-year term of the PNC Agreement and BHC Agreement beginning in the third quarter of 2008. A portion of the deferred financing costs incurred as of June 30, 2008 totaling $295,000 is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008.

     In connection with the BHC Agreement, we issued BHC a warrant to purchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”) at an exercise price of $2.99 per share. The Warrant has a term of exercise expiring on June 30, 2013. The number of shares issuable and the exercise price of the Warrant are subject to adjustment in the case of a reorganization, reclassification, liquidation and/or dilutive issuance of our common stock (or common stock equivalents). In the event of a dilutive issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents, the exercise price of the Warrant will be adjusted by a weighted-average amount based on the sales price of the dilutive issuance. The Warrant also provides BHC with the right to demand that the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). BHC’s registration rights also include registration of the Warrant Shares on any other registration statement we intend to file, with certain exceptions. The fair value allocated to the Warrant of $333,000, calculated using the Black-Scholes model, will be amortized over the three-year term of the BHC Agreement beginning in the third quarter of 2008.

b) International lines of credit and loans payable

     Effective on June 30, 2008, Mobitec AB, the Company’s wholly owned Swedish subsidiary, amended its existing credit agreements with Svenska Handelsbanken AB (“Handelsbanken”), a Swedish bank, to: (1) increase borrowing capacity of the credit facilities under these agreements from 16 million krona (US$2.7 million) to 24 million krona (US$4.0 million) and (2) increase the basis on which borrowings are made under these credit agreements to a maximum of 90% of total invoiced sales of Mobitec AB. At June 30, 2008, borrowings due and outstanding under these credit facilities totaled US$2.3 million and are reflected as lines of credit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. These credit agreements renew annually on a calendar-year basis. Additionally, effective on June 30, 2008, Mobitec AB amended its existing loan agreement with Handelsbanken with an original principal balance of 3.0 million krona (US$502,000) to extend the maturity date from September 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2008, the loan

11

had a balance of 1.5 million krona (US$251,000) due and outstanding and is reflected as a loan payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

     Effective on June 30, 2008, Mobitec AB entered into an agreement with Handelsbanken under which Handelsbanken will provide an additional term loan (the “Mobitec Loan”) of 4.5 million krona (US$753,000) at the same interest rate as the existing 1.5 million krona loan. The Mobitec Loan has a 3-year term with principal to be paid in equal quarterly installments. Borrowings under the Mobitec Loan did not occur until July 3, 2008. Therefore, no obligations under this Mobitec Loan are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008.

     Effective on June 30, 2008, Mobitec GmbH, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Germany, amended its agreement with Handelsbanken to increase borrowing capacity of the credit facility under the agreement from 512,000 Euro (US$809,000) to 912,000 Euro (US$1.4 million). At June 30, 2008, borrowings due and outstanding under this credit facility totaled $793,000 and are reflected as lines of credit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The agreement under which this line of credit is extended has an open-ended term.

     At June 30, 2008, Mobitec Brazil Ltda, the Company’s 50% owned subsidiary in Brazil, has outstanding borrowings from two banks in Brazil of $566,000. The borrowings are secured by accounts receivable on certain export sales by Mobitec Brazil Ltda, bear interest at rates ranging from 6.7% to 8.5%, and have a term of 180 days. These borrowings are included in loans payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(8) LONG-TERM DEBT

     In connection with the execution of the PNC Agreement and the BHC Agreement, we entered into an agreement on June 30, 2008 with John D. Higgins, a director of the Company (the “Conversion Agreement”), with respect to the 8% convertible debenture held by Mr. Higgins with an outstanding principal balance of $250,000 and which was payable in full on August 26, 2009 (the “Debenture”). Under the terms of the Conversion Agreement, we agreed to adjust the conversion price of the Debenture from $1.21 to $1.10 and Mr. Higgins agreed to convert the Debenture into an aggregate of 227,273 shares of our Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the adjusted conversion price on June 30, 2008. The decrease in conversion price resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of the Debenture valued at $54,000. As the Debenture was converted on June 30, 2008, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was amortized and recorded as interest expense on that date.

     Long-term debt consists of the following:

(9) PREFERRED STOCK

     The Company’s preferred stock consists of 5,000,000 authorized shares, par value $.10 per share, 20,000 shares of which are designated as Series AAA Redeemable, Nonvoting, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series AAA Preferred”), 30,000 shares of which are designated as Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”), 500 shares of which are designated as Series E Redeemable, Nonvoting, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”), 400 shares of which are designated as Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred”), 600 shares of which are designated as Series G Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series G Preferred”), 600 shares of which are designated as Series H Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series H Preferred”), 200 shares of which are designated as Series I Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series I Preferred”), 250 shares of which are designated as Series J Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series J Preferred”), and 4,947,450 shares of which remain undesignated.

     As of June 30, 2008, we had outstanding 166 shares of Series AAA Preferred, 80 shares of Series E Preferred, 426 shares of Series G Preferred, 61 shares of Series H Preferred, and 90 shares of Series J Preferred. There are no shares of Series D, Series F, or Series I Preferred outstanding.

(10) PER SHARE AMOUNTS

     The basic net income (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding and shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of Common Stock for all potentially dilutive equities outstanding.

     The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding excludes 1,408,060 and 1,585,589 stock options and warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 1,630,110 stock options and warrants for the six months ending June 30, 2008, because these securities would not have been dilutive for these periods due to the fact that the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our Common Stock for these periods. The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding excludes preferred stock convertible into 150,909 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, and preferred stock convertible into 1,411,577 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2007, because they are anti-dilutive. The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the diluted calculation excludes potentially dilutive securities aggregating 3,950,631 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, since, due to the net loss in that period, such securities would have been anti-dilutive.

(13) INCOME TAXES

     As a result of its net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has significant deferred tax assets. SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”), requires a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s total deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2008, are $7.1 million and its deferred tax valuation allowance is $7.0 million. In addition, as a result of its equity transactions during 2004, the Company has determined its ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards and related tax benefits in any single year is limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

     As a result of intercompany sales that give rise to uncertain tax positions related to transfer pricing, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded additions to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $134,000 and $239,000, respectively. These additions, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

     The Company’s effective tax expense rate of 33.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, differs from the expected statutory tax expense rate of 34% primarily due to lower overall tax rates on income in foreign tax jurisdictions offset partially by an increase in the provision for uncertain tax positions. The Company’s effective tax (benefit) rate of (8.2)% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, differs from the expected statutory tax (benefit) rate of (35)% primarily due to higher rates on earnings of foreign operations offset by a reduction of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THAT ARE IN ITEM 1 OF THIS DOCUMENT AND THE 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.

Business — General

     Through its business units and wholly owned subsidiaries, DRI designs, manufactures, sells, and services information technology products either directly or through manufacturers’ representatives or distributors. DRI produces passenger information communication products under the Talking Bus ®, TwinVision ®, VacTell™ and Mobitec ® brand names, which are sold to transportation vehicle equipment customers worldwide.

     DRI’s customers generally fall into one of two broad categories: end-user customers or original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”). DRI’s end-user customers include municipalities, regional transportation districts, state and local departments of transportation, transit agencies, public, private, or commercial operators of bus and van vehicles, and rental car agencies. DRI’s OEM customers are the manufacturers of transportation rail, bus and van-like vehicles. The relative percentage of sales to end-user customers compared to OEM customers varies widely from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, and within products and product lines comprising DRI’s mix of total sales in any given period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Our critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2007 Annual Report”) are listed and described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2007 Annual Report and include the following:

• Allowance for doubtful accounts

• Inventory valuation

• Warranty reserve

• Intangible assets and goodwill

• Income taxes, including deferred tax assets

• Revenue recognition

• Stock-based compensation

     The financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, depreciation, intangible asset valuations and useful lives, goodwill impairment, warranty costs, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and revenue on projects with multiple deliverables. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant.

     The Company believes there were no significant changes during the six month period ended June 30, 2008 to the items disclosed as critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report.

COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007

     Net Sales and Gross Profit.Our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008, increased $4.5 million or 30.3%, from $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase resulted from higher sales by our foreign subsidiaries of $5.1 million offset by a decrease in U.S. domestic sales of $562,000.

     The increase in international sales resulted from new sales generated in India by our new joint venture in that market which began operations in the fourth quarter of 2007, and higher sales in several other established markets in Europe, South America and Asia Pacific that were partially offset by lower sales in the Middle East market. The increase in international sales is inclusive of an increase due to foreign currency fluctuations for the period ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $1.5 million. DRI does not use currency hedging tools. Each of our foreign subsidiaries primarily conducts business in their respective functional currencies thereby reducing the impact of foreign currency transaction differences. If the U.S. dollar strengthens compared to the foreign currencies converted, it is possible the total sales reported in U.S. dollars could decline.

     The decrease in U.S. sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007 resulted primarily from a decrease in sales to OEM customers. Sales to OEM customers tend to be cyclical in nature and the timing of receipt of orders from OEM customers, as well as customer-directed rescheduling of deliveries on existing orders, can result in variations in sales from period to period. Though U.S. sales decreased in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, we believe the favorable sales trends we have seen in recent periods will continue as we believe increased transit funding under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act — A Legacy for Users (“SAFETEA-LU”) and the favorable influence of high fuel prices on transit ridership have had a favorable impact on our business. We believe SAFETEA-LU’s record-high funding increases for transit, in addition to higher fuel prices, have significantly contributed to an upturn in the U.S. market for most of our products.

     Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $6.7 million, increased $2.2 million, or 49.0%, from $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit was 34.8% of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 30.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in gross profit was attributed to an increase in foreign gross profits of $2.3 million and a decrease in U.S. domestic gross profits of $115,000.

     The U.S. gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 35.0% as compared to 34.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Though overall U.S. sales decreased in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, sales of engineered systems increased. Sales of engineered systems and related products yield higher margins than other products sold by the Company and are the primary reason the gross profit percentage increased in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2007.

     The international gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 34.6% as compared to 26.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company was able to enter into new purchasing agreements with several major suppliers with more favorable pricing of component parts purchased by the Company. The lower pricing of component parts resulted in lower cost of sales in the second quarter of 2008. Additionally, reduced software amortization expense included in cost of sales contributed to the increase in gross profit in the second quarter of 2008. These reductions in cost of sales were partially offset by increased shipping costs, primarily due to shipments for sales in India, higher production costs in Brazil, as some production was outsourced to third-parties to help meet the increased sales demand in that market, and higher sales commissions in the second quarter of 2008.

     We anticipate that improvements in gross margins could occur through more frequent sales of a combination of products and services offering a broader “project” solution, and through the introduction of technology improvements as well as the favorable influence of global purchasing initiatives. However, period-to-period, overall gross margins will still reflect the variations in sales mix and geographical dispersion of product sales.

     Selling, General and Administrative.Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008, of $4.8 million, increased $1.2 million, or 33.4%, from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is inclusive of an increase due to foreign currency exchange fluctuation of $382,000. As a percentage of our net sales, these expenses were 24.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 24.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to (1) increased salaries, wages and benefits due to an increase in personnel and salary and wage increases for current employees as well as an increase in accruals for estimated incentive compensation for fiscal year 2008, (2) increased marketing and business development costs, including increased trade show participation, as the Company strives to market

the Company on a global basis, (3) increased travel costs resulting from our increased marketing and business development efforts as well as overall cost increases for travel activity and (4) increased consulting fees resulting primarily from the engagement of an investment banking firm in the third quarter of 2007 to assist the Company with its strategic financial planning. Additionally, our joint venture in India began operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 and additional SG&A expenses are now being incurred in support of that operation. Management believes that, as sales increase, these expenses will decrease as a percentage of sales. However, in terms of absolute dollars, SG&A expenses may increase in future periods due to expansion into other geographic areas, the introduction of new products and services, and the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

     Research and Development Expenses. Our research and development expenses of $237,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, represented a decrease of $126,000, or 34.7%, from $363,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This category of expense includes internal engineering personnel and outside engineering expense for software and hardware development, sustaining product engineering, and new product development. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, salaries and related costs of certain engineering personnel who were used in the development of software met the capitalization criteria of SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” The total amount of personnel and other expense capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2008, of $399,000, increased $272,000, from $127,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. In aggregate, research and development expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $636,000 as compared to $490,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is attributable to the Company’s continued efforts to pursue technological enhancements to existing products and to develop new, technologically advanced products that will meet our customers’ needs. Product development based upon advanced technologies is one of the primary means by which management believes DRI differentiates itself from its competitors.

     Operating Income.The net change in our operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2008, was an increase of $1.1 million from net operating income of $562,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, to net operating income of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in operating income is due to higher sales and gross profit and lower research and development costs offset by higher SG&A expenses as previously described.

     Other Income (Loss), Foreign Currency Gain, and Interest Expense.Other income and interest expense increased $211,000 from $260,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $471,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, due to a decrease of $142,000 in other income, a decrease of $44,000 in foreign currency gain, and an increase of $25,000 in interest expense. In the second quarter of 2008, interest expense of $54,000 was recorded to amortize the fair value of a beneficial conversion feature of a debenture that was converted to Common Stock. Additionally, interest expense increased due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates on debt of our international subsidiaries. These increases in interest expense were partially offset by decreased borrowings and lower interest rates on our domestic debt.

     Income Tax Expense.Net income tax expense was $518,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income tax benefit of $57,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The tax expense reported for the three months ended June 30, 2008, is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2008 and also includes expense recorded to increase the provision for uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions. Our projected annual effective tax rate is sensitive to variations in the estimated and actual level of annual pre-tax income, variations in the tax jurisdictions in which the pre-tax income is recognized, and various discrete income tax expenses that may need to be recorded from time to time. As these variations occur, the effective tax rate and the resulting income tax expense recorded can vary significantly from period to period. The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily driven by income taxes due in foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company’s income tax benefit of $57,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, is comprised of tax benefits arising from domestic tax jurisdictions partially offset by tax expense arising from foreign tax jurisdictions.

     Discontinued Operations.On April 30, 2007, we divested DAC, an operating segment which is reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Income and losses from discontinued operations have been reported separately from continuing operations. Amounts reported in prior periods have been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to remove them from their historical classifications to conform to this presentation. Since the divestiture of DAC occurred on April 30, 2007, there is no income (loss) from discontinued operations reported for the second quarter of 2008, whereas one month’s results of operations are reported for the second quarter of 2007.

     Net Income Applicable to Common Shareholders.The net change in net income applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2008, was an increase of $349,000 from net income of $244,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, to net income of $593,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007

     Net Sales and Gross Profit.For the six months ended June 30, 2008, sales increased $9.5 million, or 35.5%, from $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, to $36.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase resulted from higher U.S. domestic sales of $418,000 and higher sales from our foreign subsidiaries of $9.1 million. The increase in international sales resulted from higher sales in several established markets in Europe, South America and Asia Pacific, which includes new sales generated by our new joint venture in India which began operations in the fourth quarter of 2007. The increases in these markets were partially offset by lower sales in the Middle East market. The increase in international sales is inclusive of an increase due to foreign currency fluctuations for the period ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $2.7 million.

     The increase in U.S. sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, occurred primarily in the first quarter and was partially offset by a sales decrease in the second quarter. Overall, the increase in sales was a result of higher OEM sales, with substantially all of the sales increase coming on the engineered systems side of the business. The increase in sales in 2008 continues a trend we have seen in recent periods which we believe is due in substantial part to the favorable impact of transit funding under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act — A Legacy for Users (“SAFETEA-LU”) and the favorable influence of high fuel prices on transit ridership. We believe the enactment of SAFETEA-LU and the record-high funding increases for transit, in addition to higher fuel prices, have led to an upturn in the U.S. market for most of our products.

     Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008, of $12.8 million increased $4.6 million, or 55.7%, from $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit was 35.1% of our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 30.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in gross profit was attributed to an increase in foreign gross profits of $3.9 million and an increase in U.S. domestic gross profits of $666,000.

     The U.S. gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was 36.8% as compared to 33.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Substantially all of the increase in sales in the U.S. in the first six months of 2008 resulted from increased sales of engineered systems and related products, which yield higher margins than other products sold by the Company. As part of a workforce reduction implemented by the Company in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2007, direct production labor was reduced, resulting in a reduction of labor absorption costs in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. Additionally, a reduction of warranty expense included in cost of sales also contributed to higher gross profit in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2007. The decrease in warranty expense resulted primarily from warranty part returns and from the Company reversing warranty reserves previously recorded when a customer determined warranty work previously anticipated was no longer required.

     The international gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was 34.0% as compared to 27.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company was able to enter into new purchasing agreements with several major suppliers with more favorable pricing of component parts purchased by the Company. The lower pricing of component parts resulted in lower cost of sales in the first six months of 2008. Additionally, reduced software amortization expense included in cost of sales contributed to the increase in gross profit in the first six months of 2008. These reductions in cost of sales were partially offset by increased shipping costs, primarily due to shipments for sales in India, higher production costs in Brazil, as some production was outsourced to third-parties to help meet the increased sales demand in that market, and higher sales commissions in the first six months of 2008.

     Selling, General and Administrative.Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008, of $9.1 million, increased $1.9 million or 26.6%, from $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is inclusive of an increase due to foreign currency exchange fluctuation of $673,000. As a percentage of our net sales, these expenses were 25.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and 26.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily due to (1) increased salaries, wages and benefits due to an increase in personnel and salary and wage increases for current employees as well as an increase in accruals for estimated incentive compensation for fiscal year 2008, (2) increased marketing and business development costs, including increased trade show participation, as the Company strives to market the Company on a global basis, (3) increased travel costs resulting from our increased marketing and business development efforts as well as overall cost increases for travel activity, (4) increased audit and tax fees related to the audit of our 2007 year-end financial statements and (5) increased consulting fees resulting primarily from the engagement of an investment banking firm in the third quarter of 2007 to assist the Company with its strategic financial planning. Additionally, our joint venture in India began operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 and additional SG&A expenses are now being incurred in support of that operation.

20

     Research and Development Expenses.Our research and development expenses of $524,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, represented a decrease of $171,000, or 25.0%, from $695,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This category of expense includes internal engineering personnel and outside engineering expense for software and hardware development, sustaining product engineering, and new product development. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, salaries and related costs of certain engineering personnel who were used in the development of software met the capitalization criteria of SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” The total amount of personnel and other expense capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $654,000 as compared to $225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In aggregate, research and development expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1.2 million as compared to $920,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is attributable to the Company’s continued efforts to pursue technological enhancements to existing products and to develop new, technologically advanced products that will meet our customers’ needs. Product development based upon advanced technologies is one of the primary means by which management believes DRI differentiates itself from its competitors.

     Operating Income.Our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2008, increased $2.8 million from $306,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in operating income is due to higher sales and gross profit and lower research and development costs offset by higher SG&A expenses as previously described.

     Other Income, Foreign Currency Gain, and Interest Expense.Other income and expense decreased $69,000 from $588,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, to $519,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, due to a decrease of $61,000 in other income, an increase of $143,000 in foreign currency gain, and an increase of $13,000 in interest expense. In the first six months of 2008, interest expense of $54,000 was recorded to amortize the fair value of a beneficial conversion feature of a debenture that was converted to Common Stock. Additionally, interest expense increased due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates on debt of our international subsidiaries. These increases in interest expense were partially offset by decreased borrowings and lower interest rates on our domestic debt.

     Income Tax Benefit (Expense).The Company’s income tax expense of $888,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily driven by income taxes due in foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company’s effective tax expense rate of 33.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, differs from the expected statutory tax expense rate of 34% primarily due to lower overall tax rates on income in foreign tax jurisdictions offset partially by an increase in the provision for uncertain tax positions. The Company’s effective tax (benefit) rate of (8.2)% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, differs from the expected statutory tax (benefit) rate of (35)% primarily due to higher rates on earnings of foreign operations offset by a reduction of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

     Discontinued Operations.On April 30, 2007, we divested DAC, an operating segment which is reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Income and losses from discontinued operations have been reported separately from continuing operations. Amounts reported in prior periods have been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to remove them from their historical classifications to conform to this presentation. Since the divestiture of DAC occurred on April 30, 2007, there is no income (loss) from discontinued operations reported for the first six months of 2008, whereas four months’ results of operations are reported for the first six months of 2007.

     Net Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Shareholders.The net change in our net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was an increase of $1.8 million from a net loss of $602,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, to net income of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Industry and Market Overview

     The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act — A Legacy for Users (“SAFETEA-LU”) is the primary program funding the U.S. public surface transit market at the federal level. SAFETEA-LU promotes the development of modern, expanded, intermodal public transit systems nationwide and also designates a wide range of tools, services, and programs intended to increase the capacity of the nation’s mobility systems. Enacted in August 2005, SAFETEA-LU guarantees a record level $52.6 billion in funding for public transportation through federal fiscal year 2009, including approximately $9.5 billion to fund federal transit programs in federal fiscal year 2008, a 5.8% increase over the amount appropriated for the prior year and an all-time high for federal public transit funding according to the American Public Transportation Association (“APTA”). SAFETEA-LU, for federal fiscal year 2009 (starting October 1, 2008) anticipates in excess of $10 billion for funding for public transportation. We believe SAFETEA-LU and the record-high funding increases for transit have significantly contributed to an upturn in the market for most of our products. We believe this upturn is a significant contributing factor in the increased revenue and improved operating results we have reported in recent periods, including the first six months of 2008.

21

     Our expanded international business, which now represents over half of our total revenues, reflects continued strengthening of many of our traditional core served market segments as well as opening of new served-market sectors. Increased business activity from our Brazilian joint venture and the new joint venture in India, Castmaster Mobitec India Private Limited, are contributing factors in the favorable trends in revenue.

OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

     Our operating activities provided (used) net cash of $179,000 and $(121,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, primary uses of cash resulted from an increase in accounts receivable of $3.4 million due mostly to a significant increase in sales since the beginning of the year, an increase in other receivables of $121,000, an increase in inventories of $1.6 million to meet the needs of our increased backlog, an increase in prepaids and other current assets of $243,000, and payments made related to the foreign tax settlement. Sources of cash primarily resulted from net income of $1.4 million, a decrease in other assets of $4,000, an increase in accounts payable of $1.5 million consistent with the increase in inventories, and an increase in accrued expenses of $1.4 million due primarily to an increase in deferred revenue and accruals related to employee paid-time-off. Non-cash expense items totaling $1.5 million were primarily related to depreciation and amortization, and minority interest.

     Our investing activities (used) provided cash of $(888,000) and $785,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the primary uses of cash were for expenditures relating to internally developed software and purchases of computer, test, and office equipment. We do not anticipate any significant change in expenditures for or sales of capital equipment in the near future.

     Our financing activities provided (used) net cash of $1.5 million and $(890,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our primary sources of cash were from borrowings under asset-based lending agreements for both our U.S. and our foreign subsidiaries. Our primary uses of cash for financing activities were payment of dividends, expenses related to new financing arrangements, and repayment of borrowings under the asset-based lending agreements of $55,000, $163,000, and $39.4 million, respectively.

Significant Financing Arrangements

     The Company’s primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been from financing activities. As more fully described in Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at June 30, 2008, the Company entered into agreements with new and existing lenders to increase borrowing capacities to support the working capital needs of our current operations. The agreements with the new and existing lenders resulted in the following:

(1)	The existing line of credit with Laurus, which matured June 30, 2008, was replaced with a new line of credit under the PNC Agreement which increased borrowing capacity from $6.0 million to $8.0 million. The line of credit under the PNC Agreement matures June 30, 2011.
(2)	An additional $5.0 million in working capital was provided by the Term Loan under the BHC Agreement. The Term Loan matures June 30, 2011.
(3)	Borrowing capacity on Mobitec AB’s lines of credit under agreements with Handelsbanken was increased from approximately $2.7 million to approximately $4.0 million and the basis on which borrowings are made under these credit agreements was increased to a maximum of 90% of total invoiced sales of Mobitec AB.
(4)	An additional $753,000 in working capital was provided by the Mobitec Loan. The Mobitec Loan matures June 30, 2011.

Management Conclusion

     The Company reported a profit for fiscal year 2007 and for the first six months of 2008. Although the Company has reported profits in recent periods, due to the Company’s anticipation of having insufficient cash resources to make payment in full on the outstanding balance of our domestic line of credit with Laurus which matured June 30, 2008, there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. With the new financing arrangements discussed above and in Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we replaced the Laurus line of credit under an agreement with a new lender and increased borrowing capacities to support our ongoing operations. As a result, we believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to support the current operations of our Company in executing our operating plan for the remainder of 2008.

22

Impact of Inflation

     We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. However, there can be no assurance that future inflation would not have an adverse impact upon our future operating results and financial condition.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     “Forward-looking” statements appear throughout this Quarterly Report. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. It is important to note our actual results could differ materially from those contemplated in our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those described in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk,” as well as all other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report. In some cases, readers can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, and similar expressions. Readers should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these considerations and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report could have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the entity affected.

Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include, without limitation, the following statements regarding:

• our ability to meet our capital requirements;

• our ability to meet and maintain our existing debt obligations, including obligations to make payments under such debt instruments;

• the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources to support current operations for the remainder of 2008;

• our future cash flow position;

• recent legislative action affecting the transportation and/or security industry;

• changes in federal or state funding for transportation and/or security-related funding;

• our future outlook with respect to the domestic and international markets for our products; and

• our opinion that increased funding for transit security establishes a positive trend.

     This list is only an example of the risks that may affect the forward-looking statements. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or if they fail to materialize), or if the underlying assumptions are incorrect, then actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

     Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis, judgment, belief or expectation only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this Quarterly Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     There have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk since December 31, 2007. See Item 7A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by

23

the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     Management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on theInternal Control- Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) as of December 31, 2007 determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of that date due to the existence of a material weakness discussed below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

     The following material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The Company did not maintain effective controls over the accuracy and valuation of inventory. Specifically, effective controls were not in place to:

(1)	ensure direct production labor and overhead costs were properly capitalized in inventory;
(2)	ensure an accurate and complete physical inventory was achieved and that the Company’s inventory records were appropriately updated for the results of the annual physical inventory; and
(3)	ensure intercompany profits in ending inventories are properly eliminated.

     These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of inventory and cost of sales that could result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

     The Company continually reviews its disclosure controls and procedures and makes changes, as necessary, to ensure the quality of its financial reporting. As detailed below, the Company has implemented certain additional controls that it believes will significantly reduce the potential for similar issues to arise in the future.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     In connection with the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting detailed above, the following remediation actions have been taken by the Company to reduce the risk of a similar material weakness occurring in the future:

• Management has determined that the control deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to capitalizing direct production labor and overhead in inventory and eliminating intercompany profits in ending inventories have been remediated. Management’s remediation efforts include preparing a more detailed analysis of direct labor and overhead costs incurred in production and the amount of such costs to be capitalized in our inventories as well as a thorough analysis of our subsidiaries’ inventories that consist of product received through intercompany transactions. Additionally, we have updated our procedures to include a review and approval of these analyses by management with the proper skill and experience levels necessary to ensure inventory is properly recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

• The Company expects to conduct its next annual physical inventory on or about January 2, 2009. A greater level of management oversight will be instituted to ensure established procedures for conducting inventory counts and recording the results of those counts are performed.

     These were the only changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company, in the normal course of its operations, is involved in legal actions incidental to the business. In management’s opinion, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the current financial position of the Company or future results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

     The following risk factors supplement and/or update the risk factors the Company previously disclosed under Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed on March 31, 2008.

     Risks Related to Indebtedness, Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial position, operations and ability to grow.As of June 30, 2008, we had total debt of approximately $9.1 million, all of which is classified as current. Included in this debt is $8.3 million under our domestic and European revolving credit facilities, a $251,000 loan due on June 30, 2009, and loans of $566,000 with 180-day terms. Our domestic revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $5.2 million as of June 30, 2008. Our European revolving credit facilities have outstanding balances of $2.3 million as of June 30, 2008 under agreements with a Swedish bank with expiration dates of December 31, 2008 and an outstanding balance of $793,000 as of June 30, 2008 under an agreement with a German bank with an open-ended term. Subsequent to June 30, 2008, our domestic line of credit was replaced with a line of credit under a credit agreement with a new lender and our domestic and European subsidiaries incurred debt of $5.0 million and $753,000, respectively, under term loan agreements with new lenders. Our substantial indebtedness could have adverse consequences in the future, including without limitation:

• we could be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, which would reduce amounts available for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development and other general corporate purposes;

• our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate could be limited;

• we may be more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

• we may be at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less debt than we do;

• it may be more difficult for us to obtain additional financing that may be necessary in connection with our business;

• it may be more difficult for us to implement our business and growth strategies; and

• we may have to pay higher interest rates on future borrowings.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     Pursuant to terms of an equity-based stock compensation plan approved by the Company’s shareholders, members of the Board of Directors and certain key executive managers of the Company may elect to be partially compensated in the form of Common Stock of the Company in lieu of cash compensation. Participation in the plan is available on a voluntary basis. The number of shares payable under this plan is determined by dividing the cash value of stock compensation by the higher of (1) the actual closing price on the last trading day of each month, or (2) the book value of the Company on the last day of each month. Fractional shares are rounded up to the next full share amount. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 10,815 shares to ten individuals under this plan at an average price of $2.05 per share in lieu of approximately $22,200 in cash compensation. Section 16 reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission include the actual prices at which shares were issued to each individual.

     In connection with the BHC Agreement, we issued BHC a warrant to purchase up to 350,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”) at an exercise price of $2.99 per share. The Warrant has a term of exercise expiring on June 30, 2013. The number of shares issuable and the exercise price of the Warrant are subject to adjustment in the case of a reorganization, reclassification, liquidation and/or dilutive issuance of our common stock (or common stock equivalents). In the event of a dilutive issuance of

25

common stock or common stock equivalents, the exercise price of the Warrant will be adjusted by a weighted-average amount based on the sales price of the dilutive issuance. The Warrant also provides BHC with the right to demand that the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). BHC’s registration rights also include registration of the Warrant Shares on any other registration statement we intend to file, with certain exceptions.

     The issuances set forth above were made pursuant to the private placement exemption available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

     None.
